Examination of the Relations between Strategic Behavior and Performance of Hospitals in Taiwan
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
Generally, hospitals seek to enhance financial performance by engaging in strategies aimed to either enhance revenues by giving emphasis to increased market share, and greater competitiveness, and the like, or by containing costs and promoting efficiency in service delivery.
Description
While the hospital performance literature is plentiful, very few studies have investigated the influence of strategic behavior of hospitals on performance.
Thus the study aims to supplement the understanding of the issue. To have a more homogenous study population, the study included all 128 regional (and above) teaching hospitals in Taiwan. Questionnaires were mailed to each hospital, where telephone interview was conducted for those hospitals that did not return the questionnaires after two mailings, or provide insufficient information in the returned questionnaires.

The final sample size was 62, with the response rate of 48.4%. The statistical analyses used were descriptive analysis, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that the most often adopted strategy by the sample hospitals was strategic alliance (80.6%), followed by the differentiation strategy (72.6%).The least employed strategy was the merge-and-acquisition strategy (11.3%).
The results of inferential statistics indicated that the strategies of differentiation and focus had most significant influences on the performance of hospitals.
